GT Sewell is a visual artist, sculptor, poet, and co-founder of 247art. With extensive experience directing galleries like Versus Gallery, MilkBar, and Oshi, GT blends the digital and physical art worlds. Alongside Jane Rolls, 247art is set out to transform the gallery model and help artists connect with a wider, next-gen audience.
On this episode we dive into how Gen Z is reshaping the future of art creating and collecting, how artists can build broader ecosystems around their work, how digital applications are integrated extensions of how we live, how traditional blue-chip artistry is being redefined by a new wave of red and purple-chip artists, why the new art gallery model is necessary, what are smart contracts, how they can empower artists and so much more.
